Russell Simmons To Publish "Super Rich: The Guide To Having It All"

by Jake Paine

Rush's third book talks about inner-wealth and spirituality.

Def Jam Records co-founder and Hip Hop mogul Russell Simmons is soon to be publishing his third book. On January 4, 2011, Gotham Books will release Super Rich: A Guide To Having It All by Simmons and Chris Morrow.

“The ultimate state of being rich is to honestly be in a state of needing nothing. To need nothing is to be super rich,” said Simmons in a statement about the book. At different points in his career, Simmons has had an estimated worth ranging between 100 and 300 million dollars.

In 2002, Simmons released his first memoir, Life & Def. Five years later, the mogul, who now owns Hip Hop website GlobalGrind.com, released a 12-step self-empowerment book called Do You!

Nicki Minaj Alleged Sex Tape To Leak, Says She'll Get On "6'7" Track

by SLAVA KUPERSTEIN -HipHopDX

An alleged Nicki Minaj sex tape is on its way, and the emcee says she'll be on Lil Wayne's new single.

Months of speculation regarding a possible Nicki Minaj sex tape have culminated in a leaked photo which would seem to indicate that one will be hitting the internet soon.

A mediatakeout.com report, which shows the suggestive photo, has already been dismissed by many fans, who believe the photo is from another, unrelated pornographic film that does not feature Minaj.

There has been no word from Nicki's camp regarding the video thus far.

In other news, the Young Money emcee plans to get on (presumably) a remix of Lil Wayne's latest single, "6'7."

Taking to Twitter, Nicki (@Nickiminaj) addressed both Lil Wayne (@liltunechi) and Cory Gunz, writing, "Oh word @liltunechi? Oh word cory?"

"Yall wanna come off w/o Roman?!?!" she added, referring her alter-ego, Roman Zolanski. "I think Roman finna jump on dat. Pauz"
